World-famous pavement artist Julian Beever wins his race against time and the rain  to create a Ôchasm outside Sheffield City Hall today. The dismal weather threatened to wash away his artwork over the past three days.  Julian has been commissioned by Yorkshire Water, which is spending £11m over three years restoring or replacing more than 80km of water mains in the south and west of Sheffield. Steve Parsley, Media Relations, Yorkshire Water, said the company wanted to "give something back" in return for disruption caused by the maintenance work.   Julian began his outline drawings on Wednesday and expects to complete the artwork on Friday.  Referring to the rain water flowing across his work earlier, a smiling Julian Beever said: "When they asked me to do a drawing for Yorkshire Water. I didn't think I would have to do it IN Yorkshire Water".  The work is on view to the public all day Saturday.

"Angelic Bulldog" is the name of the project in which Gabriel Uttley (50) of York, intends to become the fastest rider in the world. By day Gabriel works for York City Council as a bus driver transporting old and disabled people for the council's health and social services. He also previously worked as a Technology teacher inspiring students to achieve greater things. Mr Uttley, rider and project owner, has a team of engineers and designers to help him with the world record bid, many of whom volunteer their time and services. The vehicle will be powered by two Suzuki Hyabusa engines joined with a common crank to make it a 2,600cc V8. Nitrous oxide injection will raise the power output to around 800bhp. Enough to take the machine and rider through the 400 mph barrier. The current world record stands at 360.913 mph set by American Rocky Robinson. Pictured: Gabriel Uttley by the side of a full scale CNC machined mock model of the streamliner made from MDF to give an impression of its overall proportions and dimensions. 23ft long, 24 inches wide and 3ft high. For scale his modified Yamaha R1, in the the foreground, which has held nine International Bonneville Records. 140709
